RE: Adopted Authority problem

A change management system (CMS) is a package (such as MKS) that is used to checkout an object for maintenance. It has all of the facilities needed to promote the changed object back to production with all of the attributes intact. At least, that's the short version (over to you, David).

A 'make' program is something as simple as a CLP that is used to compile the program and apply, if needed/desired, attributes such as ownership. Someone on the list (Alan Campin, I think) has a Make utility.

Thanks Rob,
Not sure by what you mean by 'make' program or change management system?
I never used the 'make' program and do not believe we have a 'change management system'.
Could you give me some information on these.
Thanks,

Are you running this:
CHGOBJOWN OBJ(MMLIB/SCPTAGSEL) OBJTYPE(*PGM) +
NEWOWN(WJM) CUROWNAUT(*SAME) in your production program?

That should NOT be in your production program. That should either be:
1 - Stored in your change management system.
2 - Stored in a "make" program that compiles SCPTAGSEL.
3 - Stored as a comment in SCPTAGSEL so that if someone recompiles SCPTAGSEL outside of the change management or make program, and it now fails to work, that they know how to fix it.

The user cannot execute the command CHGOBJOWN to a user profile other than they're own.
